Hey. This is the 51st chapter.
Antex The Legendary Zoroark, thanks for your review man, glad you liked it.
edricoft, thank you, glad you liked it. And yes, for your review on the 21st chapter, its the Universal Command attack.
So, I guess I will be having Yui as a Pseudo Bijuu then. The question is, when and how. I'll prob do it after Aincrad ends. Or before Aincrad ends. Any suggestions for how she ends up sealed in Kirito, and when?
Please do tell me your ideas, be it through pm or review.
Anyways, here's the chapter.
XXX
A few weeks later, in the evening, Danzo was standing in front ofnthe teleport gate outside Konoha, with 50 of his ROOT Anbu behind him.
The warhawk had been wanting to see this Aincrad for himself, and possibly get it under his control. Danzo had managed to send his own Anbu and scout out the floors they had access to, when no one was looking.
When he found what was there, Danzo had never been so happy. The bosses that were defeated, were all summons, and they could be summoned in the rooms if one wanted to.
Another reason Danzo was going in now, was because they had finally reached the 74th floor, so he could look for anything that the others might have missed.
Plus, Danzo had made sure that most of the squads sent to scout the 74th floor had gone home, so he could go in without any fear of being found out, even if there were one or two squads left inside.
Danzo channeled chakra into the gate, and in an instant, he, along with his squad of Ne Anbu, vanished as they entered Aincrad.
The warhawk opened his eyes to see the town around him. He snapped his fingers, and instantly, the Anbu around hin vanished, leaving one beside him.
Danzo said, "Take off your mask, from here onwards, you will temporarily take on the name Sai."
The Anbu nodded and took off his mask, revealing a face that was essentially a pale Sasuke. Danzo nodded, "Good, let's go."
The now named Sai nodded as he followed his master towards the dungeons, followed by the other Ne Anbu that hid in the shadows around them.
Meanwhile, Kirito, Asuna, Hikari, Suguha and Sinon were standing in front of a massive set of gates. Kirito stared at the gates, "This is the boss room, right?"
Asuna nodded, "Yeah, well, we found this faster than I'd expected."
Suguha stretched her back, tired from having to fight the monsters in the dungeon, "Finally... We can finally go home and rest, not mention a shower too."
Hikari giggled, "True, but we still have to report to Tsunade-baachan before we go home."
Sinon and Asuna smiled as Suguha sighed. Kirito glanced at the gates, "Hey, wanna take a look inside?"
Suguha whined, "Eh?! Now?! Why not we just leave it to everyone tomorrow?"
Asuna playfully slapped Suguha shoulder and scolded lightly, "Hey, don't be so lazy! Any info we can get on the enemy can help us when we actually fight it. Besides, Nagato and Konan are looking after Yui."
Sinon nodded, "Yeah, besides, it won't take long, and its not like we're gonna fight it."
Suguha pouted for a bit before she sighed, "Fine... But we'll just stay by the door, okay?"
Everyone just laughed lightly as they approached the gates. As they reached the gates, Kirito placed his right hand on it, the Dark Repulsor in his left, "I'm opening it, okay?"
The girls nodded, all having drawn their weapons, in case of the unlikely event that they're attacked. Kirito then pushed the gates open, the gates swinging open slowly with a loud creaking sound.
The five of them slowly entered the dark room. Once they passed several meters from the gates, the torches on the walls around them lit up one by one, until the room was fully illuminated.
Then something slammed onto the floor, causing a massive tremor. Then they saw it.
Like all the bosses, it was as big as a Bijuu, and had muscles as taut as ropes rippling up its towering form. Its skin was deep blue and its eyes glinted with the same blue-white hue, matching the tint of the flames in its boss room.
Its head, resting atop its thick chest, was that of a goat's rather than a human's and had an an elongated snout and thick, twisted horns stretching backward from the sides of the head. The lower half of its body with bestial legs was covered in long, navy hair.
And in its hands, was a massive zanbatou. Behind the beast, on the wall, were the words, 'The Gleams Eyes'.
The beast's eyes landed on the five of them, and it gave a loud roar. Everyone jumped slightly as the beast glared down at them, and it started to move towards them.
Kirito said, "Let's slowly back away, we don't want to fight it yet."
The girls nodded as they slowly backed away. Sure, they could possibly take on the boss and win, but even then they didn't want to take any chances.
But the Gleam Eyes took that as a sign of weakness, and it roared again. Then it raised its sword and swung it downwards.
Hikari's eyes widened as she turned and threw a Hiraishin kunai outwards, "Kirito-kun!"
The man got the hint as he spun and shot a copy of the Elucidator out. Hikari grabbed Suguha and Asuna's shoulders while Kirito grabbed Sinon's shoulder. Then they vanished in a flash of yellow and blue, leaving a confused boss.
Kirito laughed as they stabilized themselves after that sudden warp, "Well, that boss seemed strong."
Sinon let out a breath, "Yeah, but it didn't seem to have any special abilities, apart from that sword."
Suguha nodded, "No other weapons, but it might have special abilities, maybe shooting lazer beams from its eyes?"
Hikari giggled, "Maybe. Let's go, we should report to Hokage-sama."
Asuna nodded, "Yui'll probably be angry if we take too long too."
Kirito chuckled, "You really do love Yui like she's your real daughter."
Asuna pouted as Sinon chuckled, "Well, can't blame her. Yui looks just like Asuna and your daughter, if you had one with her."
Kirito let out a breath, "Well, I think we should get going, right?"
As they turned to leave the area, they instantly put on their guard as two men came into view. Hikari said, wariness in her voice, "Kirito-kun."
Kirito nodded as he kept his grip on the Elucidator and the Dark Repulsor, "Danzo..."
The old warhawk smiled, "Ah, Kirito, Asuna, Suguha, Sinon, and Hikari. Nice to see you here."
Hikari narrowed her eyes at the old man, "The feeling's not mutual."
Danzo merely smiled. He hated to admit it, but the Kyubi Jinchurikii, and the other Jinchurikii in Konoha for that matter, were hard to grasp, as they were not loyal to the village, not entirely.
Their loyalty laid within the young man standing in front of him, as much as he hated to admit it. Danzo was sure, that if for any reason, Kirito told the girls to destroy Konoha, they would probably do it without a doubt.
Of course, there were other factors that determined their loyalty as well. One of them, was their loyalty, or rather, care and trust for some of the people in the village. Jiraiya and Tsunade, for example.
The four Jinchurikii in front of him simply couldn't be controlled, at least, not the way he wanted to. But he could compromise, for the safety of Konoha.
All he needed to do, was ensure that the people that the five of them cared for, were loyal to the village. Then the five of them would be loyal to Konoha.
Another reason Danzo had to leave them be, was also because of their ties to other villages. Hikari alone, was the heir to Uzu no Kuni, that meant, if she became Hokage in the future, it would boost Konoha's power and wealth by a large margin.
Hikari also had ties to the current Raikage and Kazekage, as the two leaders held a considerably large amount of respect for the girl.
The other Jinchurikii didn't really have ties to the other villaged, but Hikari and Kirito had the respect of Zabuza, who had the Mizukage's favour.
That meant that if the five of them were to stay loyal to Konoha, three out of the other four major shinobi villages would be allied to them, and would never attack them.
Of course, an alliance with all other four ninja villages wasn't what Danzo wanted. But he was a very patient man, he waited and prepared for decades after all, he could wait for a while more. And the answer, laid in Aincrad.
Danzo looked past the five, "Is the boss room up ahead?"
The five shared a silent conversation before Sinon nodded, "Yeah, we found it just a while ago."
Danzo smiled, "I see. Thank you, I'll go have a look for myself."
With that said, Danzo and Sai walked past them. As the two walked, Kirito turned and called out, "If you're planning to fight it, don't. You'll only be killing yourselves."
Danzo turned his head and smiled in a grand-fatherly manner, "I don't think you'll need to worry. I do have a team of Anbu around us as we speak, after all. It'll be fine."
The old warhawk turned, 'Yes, everything will be fine, and I will get the beast, and all the others, under my control.'
As the old man walked towards the room, Danzo was blissfully unaware of the fact that he was being watched.
On the hundredth floor, Kayaba frowned. He had somewhat expected Danzo to try what he was doing now. The old warhawk was just to power hungry for his own good.
The man huffed as he turned to the control panel, specifically the interface for the seals in the boss room of the 74th floor. It was time for Danzo to pay the piper.
Back with Kirito and the girls, the five of them stood there, watching the shrinking image of Danzo and Sai as the two approached the boss room.
Suguha asked, "Hey, you think we should keep an eye on them?"
Hikari narrowed her eyes, "Probably. Who knows what that old bastard's up to..."
Kirito looked at the girls and knew they were going to follow them, if only to make sure what they were doing wouldn't hurt anyone.
The young man sighed, "Whatever, let's go. Better safe than sorry."
The girls all nodded before they started to go back to the boss room. Soon, they reached the boss room, and as Kirito expected, it was open.
Then they heard a scream of pain.
Asuna looked at the others, "Let's go!"
They nodded as they charged into the room, and they were met with a horrific sight.
On the ground, were a dozen Anbu, all dead. Thirty seven other Anbu stood around the Gleam Eyes, some injured, some with their masks off.
Some distance from them, was Danzo, along with Sai by his side, the former glaring at the boss, or rather, the ceiling.
Earlier, the 50 Anbu along with Danzo had reached the boss room. Sai glanced at his master, "Danzo-sama, your orders."
The old warhawk nodded, "Open the gates, and secure the room."
The 50 Anbu nodded as they opened the gates. Then, the 49 Anbu all rushed in and spread out in the room, while Sai remained with Danzo, walking in slowly.
Then, the lights lit up one by one. While nit visibly shown, that sent the 50 Anbu into alert. Danzo just narrowed his eyes as he placed he increased his grip on his cane, preparing to unleash Shisui's Sharingan when the chance came.
Then the lights finished lighting up, and it appeared. Everyone turned to face the center as the Gleam Eyes slammed onto the floor, letting out a loud roar as it stood upright, though none of the ninja seemed fazed.
Danzo nodded slightly, and in an instant, the 49 Anbu dashed towards the humanoid creature, drawing their swords as they did.
All of them slashed at the boss, mostly at the legs and the back. The Gleam Eyes grunted in pain as it swung its zanbatou around, sending several of the Anbu flying.
As the Anbu all landed, Danzo slammed his cane on the ground, drawing the beast's attention. The Gleam Eyes turned to Danzo, then the Shinobi no Yami acted.
To the boss' confusion, Danzo threw his cane at it, causing the staff to bounce off harmlessly. Then the old warhawk ripped the bandages off his head, revealing a Mangekyou Sharingan.
The boss roared at Danzo, before the man spoke, "Kotoamatsukami!"
As soon as those words left his mouth, the Gleam Eyes froze as a Sharingan started to form within the boss' eyes.
Then, as the jutsu started to take hold, Danzo's eyes widened as he felt his chakra cut off, and his Mangekyou Sharingan returned to that of a normal eye.
At the same time, the Sharingan in the Gleam Eyes'... eyes, vanished, causing the humanoid to roar as it regained its senses.
As the beast roared, Danzo realized what had happened, and he was about to curse at the man responsible for it, when the Gleam Eyes roared, sending a blast of purple energy at the old man.
The man's eyes widened as his mind barely registered the fact that a beam of energy was right in front of his face. Then Danzo was suddenly pushed asideaside by one of his Anbu.
The old warhawk growled as he stood up, but then his eyes widened. After he had been pushed away, several of his Anbu had tried to attack the humanoid.
But the Gleam Eyes merely swung its blade and blasted them away, killing five of them, while injuring most of the other Anbu. Danzo growled and glared at the ceiling, "Kayaba... AKIHIKO!"
(Note, by now Kirito and co have reached the gates and are watching them.)
The warhawk growled again and turned to the creature. The Gleam Eyes also turned to the man, its eyes mocking him, taunting him to attack.
Danzo glared at the beast, he knew ninjutsu was useless, and if the Kotoamatsukami didn't work, then any other Genjutsu was probably useless, and with his body, using pure taijutsu was suicide.
So he did the next best thing. Danzo ripped off the bandages from his arm, revealing ten Sharingans in a white arm. Then, he picked up his cane, which had, fortunately, landed near him.
Danzo then drew a sword from the cane, staring at the Gleam Eyes. The boss merely stabbed its sword onto the ground, obviously telling Danzo to attack.
It worked, as Danzo absolutely hated being looked down upon, especially more so since it wasn't even human. The warhawk charged, followed by the other Anbu that weren't hurt badly.
That was their mistake.
With speed that wasn't possible for something that size, the Gleam Eyes grabbed its zanbatou and swung it in a wide arc.
The result was two dozen dead Ne Anbu, all cut in half as they fell to the floor. As for Danzo, he was also cut in half. But he was sent flying right to the edge of the room, exactly at Kirito's feet.
Danzo croaked out, shocked that he couldn't activate the Izanagi in any of his Sharingan, "H-how?"
Then the spark of life faded from his eyes, and Shimura Danzo, the Darkness of Shinobi, laid there dead.
The five of them stared at the dead face of Danzo, shocked to see the elder dead, or in Kirito's case, shocked that Danzo had so many Sharingans in his possesion.
Then, the screams of several Anbu caught their attention. Asuna clenched her fists, "We need to help them."
Hikari nodded, "Yeah."
Suguha and Sinon both nodded in agreement. Kirito sighed and scratched his head, "Ah dammit...whatever."
He stepped forward, "I'll get the boss, you four get those idiots outta here."
The girls nodded as they went to work. Kirito let out a breath, "Trace... On."
Instantly, seven copies of the Kubikiribocho appeared around him. Then, with a mental command, the seven zanbatou shot forward.
The Gleam Eyes growled and parried the first zanbatou before the other six swords spread out, surrounding the beast.
Then to its surprise, Kirito vanished in a burst of blue particles. The Gleam Eyes growled in pain as it suddenly felt two slashes to its back. The beast quickly spun, swinging its sword at him.
But Kirito was already gone, appearing by one of the copied swords near the ground. The boss growled, turning to strike Kirito. But it roared in pain as two of the copied Kubikiribocho sliced at its legs, causing it to fall to its knees.
As the Gleam Eyes tried to get back to its feet, Kirito took a moment to glance around. The girls were almost done with bringing the injured Anbu to the entrance of the room, he looked back at the boss again, 'This might be a good chance to kill it.'
Kirito turned to face the Gleam Eyes and sheathed his two swords, grabbing a copy of the zanbatous around him.
With the girls, they had just finished helping the Anbu to the edge of the boss room. Suguha glanced at Kirito and noticed him grabbing the sword, "Hey, you don't think he's planning to kill it?"
Hikari stepped forward, forming two clones as she quickly made a Rasenshuriken, "Whatever the case, we have to help him."
The girl dispelled her clones and charged in, leaping up as she threw the Rasenshuriken, "Fuuton: Rasenshuriken!"
Asuna and Sinon both sighed, while Suguha shook her head before the three quickly charged in, ignoring the slightly surprised looks from the Anbu.
The Rasenshuriken soared through the air, shooting towards the Gleam Eyes. It was not unnoticed by the boss, as it growled and raised its sword to block the blast, to Kirito's surprise.
But the explosion from the attack sent the boss skidding several feet away, just as the four girls landed beside the swordsman.
Sinon nocked an arrow, "You seem to be having fun."
Kirito chuckled, "Sorry, it just seemed like a nice chance since the boss is already injured."
Asuna giggled, "Well, might as well just get this over with."
Suguha shook her head with a smile, "Yui-chan is going to be mad."
Hikari grinned, "Then let's hurry up and finish this up."
Kirito smirked, "Yeah, let's go!"
At the same time, the Gleam Eyes managed to regain its balance and roared at the five of them as it opened its mouth and shot a beam of purple energy at them.
The five quickly spread out, dodging the blast easily as Asuna charged in. The Gleam Eyes spotted the girl and tried to crush her by stabbing the zanbatou at her.
The rapier user jumped, avoiding the stab as she ran up the sword. As Asuna reached the hilt, the humanoid tried to grab the girl with his other hand.
But the girl merely leaped up, dodging the grab easily. Then, her sword started to glow blue, and she moved.
This was what the book Kayaba gave them contained. It was the way for normal shinobi to use sword skills. But even then, it required a large amount of chakra control.
Fortunately, Asuna, Sinon and Suguha had that control. With guidance from the book, Asuna and Suguha managed to learn several sword skills from the scrolls Kayaba left Kirito in the shop.
As for Sinon, she managed to learn several spells that could be used in conjunction with her arrows. Unfortunately, the chakra control required was simply too great for Hikari to learn any.
Kirito also benefited from the book, learning one spell which allowed him to transform into anything he could imagine, for a certain amount of time of course.
Although, Kirito could only share that knowledge with the girls. As soon as the three of them learned how to use a sword skill, or spell in Sinon's case, the book burst into flames, most probably due to a seal Kayaba placed on the book.
Back to the present, as she came down at the beast, Asuna swiftly stabbed at the Gleam Eyes' shoulder three times. The beast roared and tried to swing its arm at Asuna.
But the girl merely spun and used its arm to kick herself towards the ground, landing skillfully before she gave two slashes at the Gleam Eyes' legs.
The boss roared and swung its sword horizontally at Asuna's level, hoping to rip her in half. But Asuna also saw it coming, and she jumped up, dodging the attack before using the sword to boss her up once more.
Asuna stabbed at the boss twice more before she yelled, "Kirito-kun!"
The swordsman nodded and willed the copied swords to shoot forward, slashing at boss, with one of the zanbatou moving behind Asuna.
The girl spun and kicked against the sword, using it to push herself towards the Gleam Eyes. The Lambant Light glowed brighter, and Asuna thrust the sword at the beast's chest, "Star Splash!"
The Gleam Eyes quickly ignored the slashes from the copied swords and raised its zanbatou to block the stab. But the attack was so strong that it actually broke the sword in half, even if it didn't damage the boss much.
But the others weren't done. As Asuna landed on the ground, Sinon let loose a lightning chakra enhanced arrow, striking the beast's shoulder.
Without missing a beat, Suguha and Hikari both charged forward. The katana user leaped up, her sword glowing light green, "Hiogi!"
Suguha slashed up and down as the boss raised its arms to block the attacks, leaving two gashes on its arms. Then, a wall of chains rose up behind Suguha, and the girl used it to push herself forward, thrusting her sword into its arms, causing the Gleam Eyes to roar in pain.
The beast tried to swing its arms at Suguha, but the girl quickly pulled out her sword and leaped away.
The Gleam Eyes tried to blast Suguha, but its eyes widened as two dozen chains wrapped around it, pulling it down to its knees. Hikari thought, 'Kurama, how much chakra can you manage now?'
The Kyubi smirked, "As we are now, I can manage one Bijuudama, that's all. But, that should be enough, right?"
Hikari turned to Kirito, "Kirito-kun, keep it busy for a bit!"
Kirito nodded, along with the other three girls as they charged in, the swordsman projecting several more swords around them.
As the four kept the Gleam Eyes occupied, with the chains slowly retracting to the ground. Hikari focused on Kurama's seal, slowly pulling his chakra out.
Soon, she took on the yellow Bijuu cloak, forming the head of Kurama around her. Hikari held up her hands as Kurama's head opened his mouth, drawing in black and white chakra, forming a large Tailed Beast Bomb.
Normally, it wouldn't take even a minute to form one, but because of the seals in Aincrad, they could barely draw out enough chakra to form a full sized bijuu.
As the Bijuudama formed, the Gleam Eyes noticed it, sensing the power behind the sphere. The beast roared and flailed wildly, breaking off the remaining chains before it charged at Hikari.
Kirito cursed and charged forward, but he was a tad bit too slow. Fortunately, Hikari was already done.
As the Gleam Eyes charged, Hikari and Kurama roared, "BIJUUDAMA!"
The two unleashed the Tailed Beast Bomb, sending the attack straight at the humanoid.
But then, the attack didn't explode. Instead, to everyone's surprise, the Gleam Eyes swung its zanbatou at the bomb, using the flat of its sword like a bat.
For a moment, the Bijuudama pushed against the sword, almost overpowering the Gleam Eyes. But then the beast roared, charging the sword with its chakra as it glowed purple.
Then, it spun, swinging its sword with it, and sent the Bijuudama flying straight at Kirito and the others.
Hikari yelled as she threw a Hiraishin kunai at the Bijuudama, her chakra cloak already gone, "No!"
But the kunai wouldn't reach in time, nor would any of the attacks from Asuna, Sinon and Suguha work to stop the bomb, nor could they dodge the attack.
Kirito cursed and activated his mark and the Acceleration, then he unsheathed both of his swords, "RELEASE RECOLLECTION!"
The two swords were immediately engulfed with light, forming a large blade of chakra. Then, right as the Bijuudama closed in, Kirito swung his blades.
Kirito grunted as he felt the force of the Bijuudama reach his arms. No words could describe the weight of the blast as he struggled to push the bomb back.
Asuna yelled in concern, "Kirito-kun!"
Kirito yelled out as he pushed, "Move! NOW!"
The three girls quickly got out of the way as Kirito slowly slid backwards. The swordsman gritted his teeth as he pushed.
The Gleam Eyes growled and started to run towards him, the floor shaking with every step. Then the young man subconsciously said, "I am the bone of my sword..."
At that moment, the yellow aura around him intensified, causing the large sword of light to glow brighter.
Then, the Bijuudama was sent flying back at the Gleam Eyes. The boss' eyes widened as it raised its sword to send the Bijuudama back, but it was too slow.
The Bijuudama slammed into the Gleam Eyes chest, pushing it back, but not exploding yet. The beast growled and tried to push the bomb up to the ceiling, but then its eyes widened again, as it saw Kirito right in front of it, his large sword of light still activated.
The young man stared at the beast coldly. Then he swung his blade down.
As soon as the blade touched the Bijuudama, everything turned white, and Hikari, Asuna, Suguha and Sinon were blasted away by the explosion.
The blonde managed to use her chains to hold her in place, while Asuna, Suguha and Sinon were sent flying to where the Anbu were, right outside the boss room.
Soon, the light died out, and the girls opened their eyes to see Kirito falling towards the ground. Hikari quickly dropped a Hiraishin kunai and threw another at him, reappearing under Kirito.
The girl grabbed him before she reappeared back where she previously was, this time with Kirito on the ground.
The swordsman chuckled painfully, "Thanks... Damn it hurts."
Hikari huffed, "That's what you get for doing something so reckless."
Kirito laughed lightly, "Well, I learn from the best."
The Uzumaki just giggled as the words 'CONGRATULATIONS' appeared in the air, along with the teleport gate for the 75th floor.
Kirito sat up, groaning as he picked up his swords and placed them back in the sheaths, "So, another floor cleared. Let's go activate the gate."
Meanwhile, with the others, the three girls were surprised to see Kirito falling, but were quickly relieved to see Hikari catch them.
Asuna sighed, "That idiot... Charging in like that."
Sinon nodded, "Well, at least we won."
Suguha nodded before she looked at the Anbu, "But, so many of them died, and so many injured."
Asuna asked, "How many of them?"
The katana user did a head count and said, "There are around 20 of them left."
Sinon nodded, "I see."
After a short while of silence, Kirito and Hikari walked to them. The Namikaze asked, "So, what do we do now?"
Kirito glanced at Ne Anbu before looking at the dead body of Shimura Danzo, "We go back and report to the Hokage, then go home and get some rest."
Kirito then walked to Sai. The Ne Anbu nodded to the swordsman, "Thank you, Kirito."
The swordsman raised an eyebrow, "You know about me?"
Sai nodded, "Yes... Danzo-sama has been keeping an eye on you and your family for some time now. Unfortunately..."
The operative glanced at his dead master before looking at the blank faces of his fellow Ne Anbu. Kirito nodded, "I see, I'm sorry for your loss."
Sai shook his head, "I... We aren't sad, we have no emotions. But, I feel... lost."
The swordsman nodded, deciding not to pry before he said, "We're going back, can you help the injured back, and carry the bodies as well?"
Sai turned to look at the other Anbu before he nodded, "Yes, of course."
(linebreak)
A while later, in the Hokage's office, Tsunade sighed after Kirito and the girls, along with Sai, gave their report. The Hokage said, "So... that old bastard went in and got himself killed."
Sai nodded, "Yes."
Tsunade rubbed her temples, "Fine, your name is Sai, right?"
The pale man nodded, "That was the code name Danzo-sama gave me before his demise, yes."
The Hokage sighed, "Okay, then keep using it. Go get some rest, I'll sort things out and tell you."
Sai nodded before he bowed, "Thank you, Hokage-sama."
Tsunade nodded as the former Ne Anbu left the room. The woman then looked at the other occupants in the room, "Well, at least you cleared another floor. Good work."
Hikari asked, "So, what now?"
Tsunade smirked as she leaned back in her chair, "What else? We continue. That old warhawk has been a thorn since Sarutobi-sensei's time."
Her face turned serious, "While we couldn't find any proof, we knew he was doing things behind our backs,e even if it was for the village. But no one could simply point fingers at him."
Tsunade looked out the window, "But now he's dead. That's one problem solved. Though I still have to find out who was involved in his personal squads."
The blonde looked at them, "Go home and get some rest. Yui must be worried sick."
The five nodded and thanked the Hokage before they left the room. Tsunade sighed as the door closed, "Well, I suppose a small funeral wouldn't be too much. Regardless of him being twisted in his ways, Danzo still worked for the village."
The Hokage then opened her drawer and took out a file, "Well, since we're nearing the 100th floor, I suppose it's time to call him back, and hopefully deal with that idiot's disease."
She opened the folder, showing the data of one Uchiha Itachi, more specifically, the details on his disease.
XXX
Done. Review please. So, Danzo is dead. I swapped Korbatz with him. What do you guys think about that?
So yeah, guess what the next chapter is...
Until then, ciao.
